There is evidence that rivers once coursed across the Martian surface; a new study shows the water flowed long enough to record signs of ancient life as well
Organic compounds called thiophenes were recently discovered on Mars and an astrobiologist thinks their presence would be consistent with the presence of early life on the planet
A new study shows that the rover's Jezero crater landing site is home to deposits of hydrated silica, a mineral that just happens to be particularly good at preserving biosignatures
Christopher Edwards, assistant professor of physics and astronomy, along with his students and postdocs, will use this facility to collaborate with scientists from throughout the country, as well as engineers and rover operators at JPL
The analysis of samples in situ in which CSIC participated shows that it did not contain the minimum CO2 level required for the existence of a liquid water lake in Gale Crater
In a study led by the University of Stirling, an international team of researchers has found the lack of rust on the meteorites indicates that Mars is incredibly dry, and has been that way for millions of years
